Selling more tickets doesn't make one better than the other does it?

[Endless, Nameless]

Your analogy is pretty weak and makes very little to no sense. You could make any sort of cheap and misplaced analogy according to you. One Direction isn't the only popular band ever. Rush isn't the only 'less' popular band ever. Bad analogies all around. Why didn't you use two 'talented' bands such as...Rush and The Rolling Stones? Surely one of those is more popular, but they are both still good yes? Or how about this, why not pick two 'untalented' artists such as Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber? One of those is more popular, but what difference does it make? It's still music.

In the case of pro wrestling, ticket sales equate to some popularity at different times. WWE is a huge company known all over the world, even if it sucks it will still sell a ton of tickets because of brand recognition. Exposure and brand recognition matter. If Ring of Honor got a ton of exposure and enough people enjoyed it for an increasingly long time, if ROH starts sucking people will still like it and sell tickets. TNA obviously doesn't have the brand recognition WWE has and hence is not as popular, doesn't mean TNA sucks or anything. idk tbh lmao jk brb
